I'm not perfect
No matter what I say
I'm a bit of a reject
Have been every day

So forgive me please
At least this one mistake
It is not with ease
That this smile I fake

Because every single night
It seems like a test
That slowly feeds the fright
Can't I have just a bit of rest

Or do I have to struggle
Is that my fate
To fight as I crumble
And live buried in hate

Is this what I've become
A monster in hiding
To slowly be undone
By all the deriding.

I’m not a knight in shining armor
No my armor is black and dented

And I felt a revival
That forced me to decree

I will make you smile
Whether you want to or not
And I will stop all that are hostile
So your pain can be forgot

This is just my way
I might be a bit rough
But like I said that day
I am evil, it is no bluff

So you can try to push me aside
But I will not...

No rolling winds to pull the dust
Of which I remember with a kind of lust

Back where I thought I was king
Where I did not fear the scorpions sting
I watched the clouds go rolling on high
In the place I called home before I said goodbye

I have new home here on another coast
But every once in awhile I will have a glass to toast
All the memories I can't seem to forget
Any time I have stand alone with a cigarette

Not all would remember it so fondly
